Members discussed a number of issues including:-

·         Recording, removal and storage of the artwork panels on the Eastgate Street frontage (Condition 8 refers) and request the condition be added to, to require details of the storage to be provided to the Local Planning Authority .

·         Request the Conservation Officer to contact the most appropriate bodies who may be able to provide a long term home for the artwork panels, and the Planning Officer to write to the applicant to strongly urge the re-siting of the panels.

·         The replacement widows would be of the same size as those existing but of single pane construction and increased energy efficiency.

·         A condition requiring anti-seagull measures was requested.

·         Concern that the removal of the undercroft would reduce the length of covered walkway available and could present a problem to the less able.

RESOLVED that the City Growth and Delivery Manager be authorised to grant consent subject to the conditions in the report, with Condition 8 amended to require details of the storage to be provided to the Local planning Authority and a further condition to require the installation of anti-seagull measures.
